Dipika Kakkar Ibrahim QUITS Celebrity Masterchef

Bigg Boss 12 winner Dipika Kakkar, who made her much-anticipated comeback to television with Celebrity MasterChef, has unfortunately stepped away from the show. The actress, who embraced motherhood last year, had excited fans with her participation, but there’s disappointing news for her supporters.

A close source from the set has confirmed that Dipika has quit Celebrity MasterChef due to health concerns. Earlier, India Forums had exclusively reported her absence from the Holi special episode, but now, it is confirmed that she has officially exited the show.

Dipika’s husband, Shoaib Ibrahim, had previously shared in his vlog that she had been experiencing severe arm pain. A medical check-up revealed that the pain stemmed from an old injury, and doctors advised her to rest and limit movement. In the video, Dipika was seen wearing a sling, and while Shoaib mentioned she would try to continue shooting, it was evident that her condition needed attention.

Meanwhile, the show has witnessed its first elimination, with comedian Chandan Prabhakar being the first contestant to exit. He was later replaced by Bollywood actress Ayesha Jhulka, who entered as a wild card contestant.

The current season of Celebrity MasterChef boasts a star-studded lineup, including Gaurav Khanna, Tejasswi Prakash, Archana Gautam, Usha Nadkarni, Rajiv Adatia, Abhijeet Sawant, Nikki Tamboli, Kabita Singh, Faisal Shaikh (Mr. Faisu), and Ayesha Jhulka. Hosted by Farah Khan, with Chef Ranveer Brar and Chef Vikas Khanna as judges, the competition remains fierce.

Fans will surely miss Dipika’s presence on the show, but they continue to eagerly follow the journey of their favorite contestants in the upcoming episodes.
